Dear Canyon View Families,

The first week of school was a great success. Thank you families for setting your children up for a smooth return to school.

Canyon View Family, I want to let you know that I will be taking a short leave (8/28/24 - 9/11/24) to care for my daughter, as she will be having major surgery. During my absence, our school will be in excellent hands, under the leadership of our outstanding Assistant Principal Ms. Sheryl Simek and retired PUSD Director Mr. Doug Johnson. Please don't hesitate to contact the Canyon View front office if you are in need of administrative support and they will put you in contact with Ms. Simek or Mr. Johnson.

Back to School Night for grades 1-5 will be on Thursday, August 29th. Ms. Sheryl Simek, our wonderful Assistant Principal will be at this event. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know Ms. Simek, learn about Team CV, and most of all - get to know your child's teacher!

Let's Make it another GREAT WEEK!

Erica Edmonston

Principal, Canyon View Elementary School

• School Breakfast and Lunch are great ways to help students eat healthy.

• We strongly discourage families from sending in food treats for birthdays. We have a number of students with severe allergies and other dietary restrictions. Please check with the teacher for individual class protocols before sending in treats. If you want to celebrate a birthday, please consider ways other than food - like donating a book or ball - for the classroom.

• Classroom parties will follow nutritional guidelines from the District.

PUSD campuses will remain ‘closed campuses’ to ensure safety of our students and staff. On the first day of school only, parents/guardians will be able to walk their child(ren) to class or the field. Beginning August 22, all children will be dropped off and picked up at the gate at all campuses.

• Parking in our lot? Cross ONLY at the Cross-Walk, located near the Flag Pole in the center of the lot.
• The GREEN CONE ZONE is the assisted loading/unloading area for our Special Needs students ONLY. If your child requires curb-side assistance from our staff, please make arrangements with their Teacher so staff can meet you there. Unless you have received special authorization to use the GREEN CONE ZONE, please refrain from parking or loading/unloading in this area.

The following books are curated especially for our Coyote Families by our Library and Media Technician, Alice Burge. The links take you to YouTube read-aloud videos, so be aware that ads may pop-up!

The Class, by Boni Ashburn and illustrator Kimberly Gee, is a gently reassuring primer for kids who are anticipating their first day of school. It follows 20 diverse kids who make up a new class as they get ready on their first morning and troop off with a very human range of reactions. Some run off excitedly, others drag their feet. The examples are both reassuringly familiar and quirkily fun as kids pick out their clothes (a toe peeks out of a sock with holes), eat breakfast, and make their way to school by various means. By the time the kids gather together on the floor with their new teacher, all have smiles, however shy, and the implicit message is: Whatever your reaction to school, there are other kids feeling it, too -- and it all works out!

Oliver and his dad spent all summer playing together, laughing together, singing together, and reading together. But now it's time for Oliver to start school, and he's so excited! But…his dad isn't. Suddenly, he feels nervous and his tummy hurts. Maybe they should stay home together! But Oliver isn't convinced. What if the first day is really fun? What if it's the start of an exciting year? In this charming story, acclaimed author and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka perfectly captures the mixed emotions felt by kids and their parents during big changes.

School's First Day of School by Adam Rex, illustrated by Newbery Award winner Christian Robinson (Last Stop on Market Street), is about the anxieties and fears kids might face when they first start school, with a very clever twist: It's the school itself that's brand new and worried about the first day. This school has feelings kids will recognize and relate to, and the book provides realistic but reassuring information about what they might expect. (Will the school like the kids? At first he doesn't.) Robinson pictures a warm, diverse environment that's integrated racially and includes a girl in a wheelchair playing with a friend on the playground. This warm, sweet, funny book is an absolute perfect choice for kids about to venture off to school.
